In Our Midst ﷺ

How curious
That the patient should despair
In the presence of its doctor
“The Prophet is closer to the believers
Than their own selves” ¹
Have you not been informed that
Despair is a trade of the cursed one
Be a merchant of glad tidings
This Name: Muhammadﷺ
Is itself Light
And the utterance of invocations
Upon its bearerﷺ
Calls a shower of mercy and peace
By which
Countless doors of ease
Are flung open
From every direction
And darkness is expelled
Before the Sun
That is the name: Muhammadﷺ
“And Allah would not punish them while you are in their midst,
and Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” ²
